We’ll help you find every opportunity to save
Saving on taxes is like money in the bank. It’s an easy concept to understand, but a hard concept to execute because tax laws are always changing. That is why our automotive tax advisors are continually monitoring legislative, regulatory, and precedent-setting developments in tax law that impact your industry.
As regulations at the local, state, federal, and international levels change, our tax planning consultants are continually developing new tax strategies and amending existing tax strategies so that your organization and you can take full advantage of opportunities to reduce your tax burden.
When the strategy calls for it, we also can draw on a multi disciplinary team of specialists. For instance, we have lawyers, engineers, architects, and energy experts who can help us document your tax positions when it comes to tax credits and incentives such as:
- R & D tax credits
- Cost segregation analysis
- Domestic Production Activities Deduction (DPAD)
- Energy tax credits
- New Market Tax Credits (NMTC)
- Brownfield incentives
- Historic preservation
- Low-Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC)
- Michigan film incentives
